The Family Credit Union continues to grow and expand its services! Our new contactless cards, which will be coming soon, will now appear with our new logo. But why get the contactless card? Contactless cards, also known as “tap-to-pay” is a secure, convenient, and touch-free way to pay. Contactless cards are able to work as a normal debit card with both swiping and chip reading, but it also allows you to simply tap your card at any contactless-enabled terminal.
Safe & Secure Way to Pay
Contactless cards carry a chip that has the same trusted security as a Visa contact chip card. Every time your contactless card is used, it generates a one-time code that protects your payment information, making it extremely effective in reducing counterfeit fraud. You also do not need to worry about paying accidentally! Your card must be within 1-2 inches of the terminal for 1-2 seconds for the sale to take place. And you won’t be billed twice, even if you accidentally tap twice.
Want to learn more about this contactless payment option? Give us a call or stop in to your local branch!
